MUSSOLINI AND THE NEW IMPERE

It is a 3 hours tour. Bus or car renting to be paid separately.

Like the Roman Forum, to which it was inspirited, the Italic Forum represents the representation of the ideal fascist city and the myths of a generation militarized, autarchic, and obedient to the supreme leader's dictates.

Stadio dei Marmi: is the ideological review of the classic Roman and Greek esthetics, both under the architectonic standard and the iconographic adulation of the athlete, in the fascist point of view.

The athlete, the "homo novus" (new man) who implement the principle of "mens sana in corpore sano" (healthy mind in healthy body) is, within the fascist ideology, the model supporter of discipline and auto-determination.

The athlete as the glorification of infinite possibilities of the body, molded with strong and virile will.
